It isn’t always easy to follow the lyrics of your favorite songs, especially if English is not your first language. In some cases, you may end up missing the artist’s message, and looking up the lyrics online is not exactly convenient.

Musixmatch is a Windows application that comes through with a solution. It lets you take advantage of the Musixmatch database from your desktop, displaying synchronized lyrics when you are listing to music in Spotify, iTunes or Windows Media Player.

One thing we can’t help but appreciate is just how easy the application is to use. Once you’ve launched it, you only need to play a song in any of the supported media players, as it will fetch the lyrics and display them automatically.

Musixmatch scrolls through the lyrics as the song is being played, making it very easy to follow the music. The synchronization is not always perfect, but it is never too far off.

First of all, you will need to either create a Musixmatch account or log in to your existing one to take advantage of these features.

From what we could tell from our tests, most of the lyrics provided by Musixmatch are locked, so it will not be possible to edit them. When it can be done, however, the process is very straightforward.

The application also allows you to synchronize lyrics with songs manually, which can be very helpful if you notice that they are noticeably out of sync.

While you can’t select the song to be played from Musixmatch, you can start or stop playback, as well as see its progress, without bringing up Spotify, iTunes or WMP.

The application also offers two display modes, one that only shows the current and next verse, and another that lists all the text that can fit in the main window.

On the whole, the desktop version of Musixmatch is a great choice for Spotify and iTunes users who want to follow song lyrics while playing their music. It is very easy to use, and it comes with an extensive lyrics database.
